SCTP is widely used for carrying signalling in mobile and fixed telephone networks. It is _the_ way of carrying SS7 over IP.

(Another angle on the same thing: it didn't get used much outside the thing it was originally designed for.)

SCTP is DOA since Windows doesn't implement it and it doesn't pass through NATs. WebRTC DataChannel is SCTP over DTLS over UDP, though.
